I like to chew Sugar-free chewing gum. What brands are safe? Any that are definitely not?

thanks in advance,
Geoff

I can't remember ever finding a gum that isn't safe, except maybe Aloids (??). I know Wrigley's has always said of their gums are gluten-free.

I don't know if they have changed their ingredients, but the last time I looked altoids gum had gluten in it. They may have changed the ingredients since I looked.

haha! I found a new one that isn't!
it's... some sort of cube thing, and has a endothermic reaction to make the first few chews make your mouth cold...
Oh, here it is: Hershey's Ice Breakers Ice Cubes, at least the Dragon Fruit Flavor. The wheat is listed right on the ingredients, and yes, I did get bitten by not checking first! ohmy.gif ph34r.gif

Gum arabic is ok. Thickener I guess would depend on what it's made out of.
